Compiling Root 6.22/08 from source for Mac High Sierra 10.x

kristin · October 17, 2023, 6:15pm

Dear all,

with/for a student I am trying to compile Root 6.22.08 on Mac High Sierra.

The main purpose is to get a root version that is compiled together with python3 (as this is what she needs for her jupyter setup - we have already tried installing from port / package, but that uses a Root version with python2.7). We managed to solve a few configure issues by installing extra packages, however now the compilation fails with
“call to member function ‘find’ ambiguous” when trying to compile TCling.cxx (see attached pictures).

I think it might be a simple version problem but could not find any good suggestion so far.

Could anyone help please?

Thanks & Best
Kristin

ROOT Version: 6.22.08
Platform: Mac High Sierra 10.x
Compiler: Not Provided

I just recompiled ROOT 6.22 on MacOS 10.15.17
and clang 12.0.0 and it works fine.

Is there any way to specify the Clang version?

And did you use 6.22.08 or an earlier version?

We use the following command - perhaps the cxx version needs to be adapted?

Hi Olivier,

thanks - I also realized, that I mis-understood Clang to be Cling, so I thought it was a part of ROOT itself – (Again I am not a MAC user and it was not clear to me that Clang is the Mac-version of gcc).

Once I get hold of the student and her mac again, we will check the clang version to see if we can do something about it.

It make so much more sense now (and I think I might have seen a similar error for linux related to the gcc version).

Cheers
Kristin

Hi,

bad news:

We tried with Clang 12 and it still throws the very same error:

3/root_src/core/metacling/src/TCling.cxx
/Users/maryrawcliffe/build_root_sep2023/root_src/core/metacling/src/TCling.cxx:3157:19: error: call to member function 'find' is ambiguous

         if (line.find(lib) != std::string::npos) {
             ~~~~~^~~~

/Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/usr/include/c++/v1/string:1149:15: note: candidate function
    size_type find(__self_view __sv, size_type __pos = 0) const _NOEXCEPT;
              ^
/Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/usr/include/c++/v1/string:1152:15: note: candidate function
    size_type find(const value_type* __s, size_type __pos = 0) const _NOEXCEPT;

It still looks to me like version error, but potentially in the c++ version?

I guess we are happy to try an older root version (but it needs to be one for which python3 is the default)

Cheers
Kristin

I do not see this error in Cling. May be @Axel has some ideas about it.

kristin · October 27, 2023, 10:01am

Just a brief update: We did try now to compile with C++ standard 14 and 11 instead of 17 and that seems to do at least something.

From using version 14, got further than the other two versions (11 and 17).

So I think C++ 14 is to be used, but we still have a library problem.
